New eager member from norway

Hi
Just bought my second patrol. The first one was more rust than car so i gave it up.
But this second one has been frame lifted and rust welded from back to front.
Only the reassemble remains. And about all the wiring loom hangs out everywhere.
Alot of job ahead of me, but hopefully well worth it.

Will post some pictures when i get off work.

This is the 2,8td and yes, it will be tuned. Going for Fmic, diesel compensator mod and 3 inch exhaust. :D

Yes the front bumper is a rear bumper, looking for a proper one..

My Garage is 215cm wide, the patrol is 210cm, on the fenders. Tight fit!

Hello and welcome to the forum, be sure to post up some pics etc when you get a chance, plenty of info here at your disposable so enjoy :)

Oh i will! This is the biggest car forum i've come across. And just reading bits here and there I can only assume that the knowledge posted here is only a fraction of what's in peoples heads.

:)

Welcome aboard mate, looking forward to seeing some pics of the build up.

oh crap was that what you ment..

more pics

I actually bought the car from a small skinny blonde girl, with two chiwawa dogs..
She mounted the fenders and painted it herself. awesome chick, and did a pretty good job!

Welcome aboard mate, looks like you are up for some fun in the future. Sure sounds like a top chick too, could almost look past the dog choice if she can rebuild a rig like that. Did she mount the back bumper on the front so she could stand on it to access the engine bay easier???

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the greatest show on earth.

Would be fun to see her driving the car.. with chiwawas... rather that than a pink cab!
I suppose that is partly why, it makes a great step! Thinking about making a similar solution when e get a hold of a bullbar.

More pictures. Can anyone help me identify some of these connectors?

Hello and welcome to the forum, jump in anytime and enjoy .
Like the flares BTW

Gday mate, welcome to the forum. Its always great to see new members from around the world. I look forward to watching your build. I think the the rear bumper on the front actually looks pretty good!

Fmic = Front mounted intercooler..

The diesel compensator is an actuator on the old turbo diesels. It gives you more fuel when your turbo boosts.
Most people just adjust the mixture screw when they tune. Or the smoke screw if you will.
The more correct thing is too adjust both the compensator and the screw. But it is difficult and can easily make your car behave like a 14 year old girl with pms..

More about adjusting the compensator and pump:

A really well written thread!

Great to have rollers to put the car on. The floor is tiles, but it still goes to move it with only one person as if i can reach the wall with my feet.
My garage used too be a store that only sold beer actually :) That is why there are tiles :)

welcome aboard mate good to see the passion
even enough to knock the garage wall apart to get the patrol in X)

New update!

Printed out the manuals / bible and started checking the electrical wires on the car.
A lot of work getting everything too work when several owners has made their own "adjustments" to the wires. Cut and spliced wires everywhere.

Got some sound deadening glued on as well. And threw the carpets in a soapy bath over night. Not sure if that is enough to get them clean..

G'day Mortn,

Welcome aboard mate and i hope you are with us for a long time!

PS, fark! that garage is small mate!

Regards,

RLI

new update. Drove 2500km last weekend to get a hold of a new interior in leather. Cars for spare parts is hard too come by here..

So! new front bumper, new seats (7!), etc..

Started putting the car together with washed (still looks dirty but smells like flowers) carpets, new seats and all the small bits here and there.

Had a little problem with the washer and blinker handle. New wiring harness and old steering column. Don't fit properly but works :)

Hi norway boy :)

Welcome Aboard !!! I’m abit spasmodic with my visits, especially of late BUT I can tell you that this Patrol Community is just plain AWESOME …. So much experience & knowledge to be gained.
You’ll be glad you joined :)

Glued on some new carpets and started the work with the front bumper.
The old one was rubbing the tires and just looked way too small.
Easy fix with parts from my spare one.

Welcome to the forum mate... Good to see the old girl taking shape nicely... Did you get all the wiring sorted?
